Next week I’ll make some loaves of banana bread for a church
bake sale. I was thinking about what I need to have on hand (fresh buttermilk,
whole nutmeg, and plenty of very ripe bananas) and it occurred to me this trick
I’ve used for years might be useful for someone else. If I’m following a recipe
I don’t have in my head – something I don’t make very often, or one I’ve never
tried before – I suspend it from my cupboard door with a skirt hanger. I use a
hanger with clips, not the kind that clamps the skirt between wooden slats. It
puts the recipe at eye level, or at least closer to eye level than the counter.
The recipe (in this case, the cookbook) is less likely to be splashed by
energetic stirring or soiled by a messy countertop. Best of all, it takes up zero
valuable counter space.
